To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes:
"Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile;
So ere you find where light in darkness lies,
Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes."
It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Maryland Politics -- Latest Polling

Strap yourselves in folks, we're in for one hell of a ride. The SurveyUSA polls are out and they show both the gubenatorial and the senatorial races to be close. O'Malley leads Republican incumbent Governor Ehrlich by seven points, 51% to 44% -- hardly a comfortable lead at this point -- and [here's the big one] Republican Michael Steele leads Ben Cardin 48% to 47% in the Senate race.

There's a lot of money pouring into these races and the Democrats have already gotten down and dirty. The Republicans will be responding in kind. Hoo Boy, a good old fashioned Maryland mudfest is heating up. This is gonna be fun.
